WASHINGTON. Jan. 4. Mr. Gar
ner, the V. P., did the fixing tor
President Roosevelt's night radio ap
pearance before congress. He called
"-tq the nepuDii can
bosses, eneu wia
McNary, Into bis
private room.
The matter was
fe-:sNPfS -fl brought up in a
f i most casual ftnd
congenial way.
Some dissatis
fied republicans
have been mut
tering ever alnce
that Garner put
one over on
them. There la
considerable awe
on the Inside for the type of con
genial poker played by him.
The fart la Messrs, flnell and. Mc
Nary are no novices at that game.
They know a flush beats a straight,
but a four-flush la valueless and
sometimes costly. That Is what a
threat of fight from them would
have been. They could have done
nothing effective about It.
The ensuing, wail of protest was
not as grief-laden as It sounded.
Wisest of the republican poker artists
were well satisfied - privately to get
the opportunity to show their grief.
Some of the snappy phrases used
by Mr, Roosevelt In his message were
his own. Others came from his mul
titude of advisers. This Is the way
he work?:
Whenever he has a big speech to
make, or a general message to pre
pare for congress, he calls upon a
va.ety of sources for Ideas. Officials
submit Information composed as
they would like to have him use it.
Prof. Moley, top speech-making ad
viser, generally submits texts cn sev
eral subjects. Occasionally Prof.
Frankfurter also is called upon for
suggestions. (They never appear at
the executive office, but always at
the White House proper.)
After getting all these together, Mr.
Roosevelt retires to his room In the
White House (not his office) and
dictates the first draft of what he
wants to say. He works over it two
or three times. Congressional lead
ers and departmental heads are
called in to see and correct what per
tains to their affairs.
What finally comes out la a com
posite grouping of many men ideas,
written largely in his language. None
of the advtoera can simplify things
as well as he can. Likewise few can
compete with him In composing
catch-phrases.
Before the message was delivered,
the congressional crowd almost unan
imously advised Mr. Roosevelt against
trying to go any further toward the
left now. They said It was dangerous
not only economically but politically.
They wanted him to lay heavily on
the prosperity motif.
Also they wanted him to hit the
economy angle hard. They thought
It would cut ground from under the
opposition.
In fact, thv house leadera began to
make preparations a week ago to
smoke up their sldft of the economy
lsue at the earliest possible moment.
They arranged things so that the brst
looking government supply bills
would come up the very first week.
Flip-flops performed by some of
the democratic congressmen during
the recess will become apparent In a
few days when they start talking in
public. To wit:
A well known southern senator wa
stopped In a public place by a news
man the other day. He was a leader
against many New Deal bills last ses
sion, denouncing brain trusters, etc.
The nowaman asked what he thought
about Mr. Roosevelt now.
The senator looked around to see If
anyone was listening. Noting that
msny were, he aald In a loud vcice
that he thought Mr. Roosevelt was a
great man. still louder, he proclaim
ed that the secret of Mr. Roosevelt's
greatness was that "the president Is
a man with a heart for the masses."
He beat hts heart vigorously with his
hand to Illustrate hts pclnt.
Nobody smiled. The senator Is up
for re-election.
The prea'dent puts off writing his
speeches as long as possible. How
ever, that la not the reason why texts
are seldom given to the press until
a frw hours before he begins to
sneak. The explanation for that Is
advance copies generally find their
way into the hands of political oppo
nent. If given out earlier.
Mr. Roosevelt was trked personally
by the talking done by his democra
tic ccnerewtonal leaden during and
after their Philippine Junket. He re
marked to a friendly caller the other
day that Garner alone kept hi
thoughts to himself.

MESSAGE READ TO
WASHINGTON , Jan. 4. T With

approaching a balanced budget, the
capital waited Impatiently tonight
for the publication of his exact es
timates. On Monday, tha annual budget

his message "on the state of the
union."
The second of the two regular com
munications to congress will bring up
to date the official estimates for the
current fiscal year, which still has
sit months to run, and project a
schedule of revenues and expenditures
for the fiscal year which will end -n

WEEK PREDICTED
FOR BONUS BILL
House Factions Make Peace
and Two Plans Consid
eredInflation Measure
Withdrawn.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. (AP)
Fighting house factions made peace
over tha bonus today as Senate Dem
ocrats, also talking of compromise.
Instructed their leader to take up the
Issue with President Roosevelt.
The list of bonus measures at the
center of the annual congressional
battle narrowed to two when the
Patman bill to provide payment
through (3,000,000,000 of currency
expansion, was. In effect, taken out
of the conflict.
Its backers agreed to consolidate
behind legislation sponsored by the
American Legion, Veterans of Foreign
Wars and Disabled American Voter
ana. Only approval by the full Pat
man steering committee, which Is
regarded as certain, was yet to be
obtained.
Bonus leaders predicted passage In
the house within a week or ten days.
Meeting for the first time. Senate
Democrats authorized majority lead
er Robinson (D., Ark.) to talk with
Mr. Roosevelt before the bonus cam
paign reaches the floor.
Left In the forefront of the cam
paign were these measures:
1. The veterans' bill, estimated by
the supporting organizations to coat
$1,000,000,000 immediately, and pro
viding no definite method of raising
the money. It would refund Interest
on loans on adjusted service certifi
cates, cancel unpaid Interest, and
allow veterans not desiring to cash
the certificates to draw interest cn
them. i
3. The Byins-Steiwcr senate bill,
likewise setting up no specific meth
od of payment. It would provide 97
per cent of full cash value of the
certificates now and 100 per cent If
they were not owned until 1938.
Although many bonus support sri
said they believed the president, to
oe consistent, would veto any bonus
legislation, the Byrnes-Stelwer pro
posal has been spoken of as ap
proaching the type which he might
possibly see his way clear to approve.
The president has not spoken hi
mind on the new bonus drive.

TODD DEATH QUIZ
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 4. (UP) The
district attorneys office charged to
day attempts were being made io
steer Investigation of Thelma Tody's
death away from the possibility that
the blonde motion picture actress
might have committed suicide.
The office declaration, gave uo
names nor specific reasons for Its
charge but the blast from Buron
Fltts' assistants Indicated the grand
Jury Inquiry might take a new tack
when It resumes Monday.
A new fantastic angle was In
jected into the situation through in
announcement by Roland West, Miss
Todd's business partner In operation
of "Thelma Todd'a Sidewalk Calo"
at Santa Monica, that he had been
threatened through anonymous notes
and was employing a bodyguard. De
partment of Justice agents denied
West has, as he was reported, turned
any notes over to them. It was re
called the actress received threats a
short tlmo before her death In an
automobile parked In a garage behind
the cafe, on the upper floors of which
Miss Todd and West had separate
living quarters.
A suicide theory began to gathsi
precedence over the previous explan
ation of an accidental death when
several witnesses told the grand Jury
this week the actress aneared de
spondent and expressed a wish to
die.

President Roosevelt's message to con
gress.. . . ...
insistent exposition of administra

and in line win Theodore Roosevelt's
objectives waa expected.
There is apparent readiness at the
White House to let dissent In the
party take whatever course it will.
The latest opposition move came to
day with a summons "to the Jeffer
son kin domoemts of southern border
stales" to meet at Macon, Ga., Jan
uary 39, to repudiate tho new deal.
Governor Talmadge of Georgia and
John Henry Klrby, heading "the
southern committee to uphold the
constitution," were the signers.
Three days before that meeting,
Alfred B. Smith will address the
American liberty league dinner here.
Thaw are but a few of the factors
making for unprecedented pulling and
hauling across party lines.
Such republican praise as there
was for the militant presidential
stand on dcmestlo policy came al
most exclusively from the Independ
ents. Many of them supported Theo
dore Roosevelt In his day and now
back Senator Borah of Idaho for the
nomination.
This circumstance pr nta the pos

Borah reserved comment on the ad
dress. But he may speak out when
he appears before a party gathering
In New York January 38. Conflict
over his candidacy already Is taking

"The Tarrying out of the laws
of the land us enacted by the

"The Innovation of the president
who Insisted on addressing the con
gress at 9 p. m. la the high water
mark of all time propaganda. It l
perfectly obvious to every thinking
man and woman that the nine o'

purposf of presenting Information or
facts t the congress but to use
congre'ia as window dressing and a
spring board to uphold and defend
tha ew deal and spread partisan
propaganda amovtg the people for

The president's speech to the
oountry Is notice that the new deal

of waste, extravagance and squander
mania without any real expectation
of balancing the budget."
